Post by: Bluto on December 30, 2007, 08:50:09 AM
Let's say there would be a one time yearly open weight tournament in the UFC - who would fight in the final? Who would win?  8)

Back in the beginning of the UFC, you had all of these big guys that had little MMA skill getting beat by little guys. Today, it is much different. The big guys have all of the skill that the little guys do. Because of this, an open weight tournament wouldn't be any good. The heavyweights/light heavys would win.......

Chuck, Rampage, A. Silva or Rashad. Cooter would do good too, but he can't beat Chuck.

I think BJ at 185 would be a handful for Arlovski at 230...

i think an open weight really says something about a fighter when a smaller guy is able to win over as bigger guy, that takes some mad skills  8)

Who would win an open weight UFC tournament?


to answer the question,it would definetly be someone @ 205 (IMO)......

if I had to take a guess Hendo or page.....



p.s. Hendo's gonna dominate anderson when they fight




pps.............I'm generally wrong about predictions but I'm still A LOT smarter than nick !

considering Arlovski at one time had "champion" associated with his name ?


yes !

That's my point.  Aside from a slew of booooring fights, Rashad hasn't done shit and he is considered one of the top five.  At least Andre managed to take the best from the redneck Sylivia...

well, they were the best, when the sport wasnt too much like it is now...it was VERY different times...if we didnt had Rickson, Royce and so on, we would not have Fedor, CroCop and many others i think simply because probably MMA would not exist
Title: Re: Who would win an open weight UFC tournament?
Post by: bigbalddaddy on January 03, 2008, 10:30:49 AM
Well they were the "best" at only one aspect of MMA.  It just so happens that one dimension put them on the map.  When all of the other disciplines learned BJJ things changed very rapidly.  The bad thing is that they didn't modify their game to add the appropriate things to keep them at the top.  I'm sure we will see a Gracie someday soon come back to the top with a nice standup game..
